So far dataclasses works by adding things to the class only -- I want to place the bar pretty high before we change that. Anyway, there are several solutions now that people can implement as separate class decorators and distribute via PyPI (or copy into their own codebase) so I don't think now's the time to consider adding this to dataclasses. Maybe for Python 3.8. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
